When choosing between the Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 and the Lenovo V15, consider the following: if having a laptop that is lighter, more portable, and functions as both a laptop and a tablet is important to you, the Acer could be a better option. However, if you prefer more storage space, a larger screen size, and better performance for tasks like engineering, the Lenovo V15 excels in these areas. The Acer offers a higher resolution screen with a better aspect ratio for productivity tasks, but it has less computing power compared to the Lenovo. Your choice should align with what you prioritize: portability and versatility with the Acer or better performance and more storage with the Lenovo. Keep in mind, the Acer is fanless, providing silent operation which may be beneficial in quiet environments. Give Feedback

Rtings

Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | November 2023
"The Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 is okay for school use. It feels reasonably well-built, and its compact design makes it easy to carry around. The battery lasts around seven hours of light use, so you only have to plug it in for a short time to get through a typical school day. The overall user experience is so-so; the display looks sharp but dim, and the touchpad is fairly responsive, albeit small."

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
